the last duck harvesting day, 2 weeks ago
I was gearing up with coffee before milking time, emotionally preparing for today. It will be the third harvesting day of 2010, and want to say a thank you to the ducks and turkeys we’ll be processing today. They are amazing, lovely creatures who I have been so lucky to care for. Thank you, my dearests.
- the fruit of my farm, fresh chilled duckling
more harvest day mayhem- thanks Maren, Kitty, Sloan, Craig, Paul, and most of all Andrew, for all your help!
Andrew and I butchered a turkey to make into sausage, but that night we roasted the wings in the oven with a ginger hickory sauce.....yummmmm! THAT is a wing!

- my To-Do list, no way could I remember it all with out this daily changing/updated list of stuff to get done.
- coffee, fair trade organic, brewed loose leaf style in a quart jar- “cowgirl coffee!”
- beer, my favorite to chill out at night is New Glarus, a Wisconsin specilty that is a World Champion winner
- duck eggs- my fuel, seriously
- love, no way could I do anything without love and support from Andrew, my friends, family and wonderful customers.
